Information about the Program

The main aim of the Program "Learn English on Campus" is teaching English to professors, administrative staff and students of UCLM from a communicative approach. Grammar aspects will only be integrated in the lessons depending on the communicative activities scheduled (role plays, debates...) and the practice of the four dexterities of language: reading, listening, speaking and writing.

The lecturer will be given a practical teaching method to be used as support for his/her classes, as well as the required material for the practice of the communicative dexterities of language. Regular meetings with the coordinators of the Program will take place, to ensure the follow-up throughout the year.
